I had not used Outlook before. I used Outlook Express for email. I manually
typed in updated contacts into Outlook address book. I then began using
Outlook to check email as well. I exported content from Outlook Express to
Outlook and stopped using OE. I had recently changed website host but it was
seemless, and I did not have issues with email. Also, I did use mobile phone
tools for my motorola to synch contacts, but found it useless so I
uninstalled software. As of yesterday, Outook contacts/address book seemed
fine. I did not take any action on the contacts. This morning, I opened
Outlook and all contacts disappeared. Outook mail, calendar, and tasks seem
to be ok.

One. Outlook does not lose data without end user action.
Tell the rest of the story. You provided no information that would permit
troubleshooting.
State more clearly what you did. State the view in which this Contact data
no longer appears.

All of my contacts in Outlook disappeared. Everything was fine yesterday.
Have Windows XP. I just manually typed updated contacts 2 days ago.
Anyone
have any thoughts?
